Beans, haricot, whole, dried, boiled in unsalted water

Haricot beans are a type of pulse. The figures here describe whole dried beans that have been soaked and then boiled in unsalted water. They mainly provide carbohydrate and plant protein, with 17g of carbohydrate and 6.6g of protein per 100g. They also contain 2.5mg of iron and 0.04g of salt per 100g.

Carbohydrate provides energy, while protein is needed for the growth and repair of body tissues. Iron contributes to the formation of red blood cells and the transport of oxygen around the body. The low salt content reflects preparation without added salt; adding salt, stock or sauces can change this. Full nutritional figures are in the tables below.
